With the help of more than 100 donors, we constructed the Field of Dreams in Freetown. The field represents a monumental milestone for hockey in Sierra Leone: its the only place where all teams can play matches and train without any access restraints.
We all met at university where we were either active or founding members of the university’s field hockey club. One of our members became aware of a request for field hockey equipment in a forum on the UN website. The project at first started out with a small collection of 50 sticks that were shipped by DHL.
In 2020 we traveled to Sierra Leone for the first time. The video that summarised our trip reached players all across Europe. We were able to collect over 6000 sticks and sent the first batch to Sierra Leone in January 2021. Part of the team lived in Sierra Leone for half a year after that and developed strong bonds with players and coaches.

The pitch is there. Now it is time to use it to the fullest. You can support the local teams by organising training camps and introducing children and young adults from neighbouring villages to the game. We encourage you to come with a friend or even as a small group. Reach out to us for more information.
